            MYSIA. Cyzicus. Ca. 500-460 BC. Electrum stater (15.90 gm). Bull 
            walking left on tunny left / Mill sail incuse. Von Fritze 88. SNG 
            Paris 222–223. Boston 1466. Choice extremely fine. 

            It appears that the mint masters in Cyzicus took into consideration 
            the fact that the design of this die was rather broad; for this 
            reason the several coins of this issue are all struck on 
            horizontally elongated flans.
